Sex Offender Monitoring Program

The Division of Probation and Parole established a Sexual Predator Working Group in 1997 to develop strategies to supervise sex offenders as a specific group of offenders in need of special management practices.

New and creative strategies have been initiated that emphasize individualized case management. Case management refers to the coordination and implementation of a cluster of activities directed toward supervision, treatment and management of the behavior of an individual sex offender. The aim of this new approach is to improve the system-wide management of sex offenders in the community for the purpose of holding the offender consistently accountable for the damage caused by sexual abuse.
